Just wanted to get some informed opinions. I have the Ruger 10/22 with bull barrel and was thinking about trying out a different approach to the stock. The rifle fires awesome, but is quite heavy in the current configuration ( I understand the barrel is a key contributor to weight, but it has a wooden original stock as well).

Please share your opinion on potential stock swap outs or customization and the difficulty of such a change out. I am very familiar with the break down of the rifle, I just want to add some extras and change it out a bit if it will add functionality and improved portability.

I have seen some reviews that this rifle is good to 200 yards out with certain ammo and scope, is this realistic? Sometimes YouTube'ers are more in line to boast their expertise than discuss practical results.

Thanks
